The great parking spot debate of Tuesday morning

I pulled into the last open spot at the grocery store, only to see a woman in a red car mouth 'I was waiting for that' from the lane. I'd already started turning in, so I parked. She circled and took a spot way at the back. Felt like a jerk, but also... was I? The unwritten rules of parking lot conduct are a real minefield. Has anyone else had to make a quick call like that and felt weird about it after?

If you're already turning in, it's your spot, so don't feel bad about it.

You said she was in the lane. If you're not in the spot, it's fair game.

My grocery store parking lot, every time. Right, @blair_taylor32?

Man, these little power struggles happen everywhere now, not just parking lots.
